This
very cozy, romantic-looking restaurant looks like it was pulled
off of some European street and is the creation of Chef Chris
Liu, most recently Western executive chef at The Landis Hotel.
The classy, two-floor restaurant seats about 40 and features
dark green and cream-colored interiors with light paneling,
uniformed waiters, linen tablecloths and napkins, an open
kitchen, classicial music, and big glass windows that look
out at the trees and canal across the street. Liu--who has
26 years in the business and has worked everywhere from the
Bangkok Dusit Thani Hotel and Taipei Grand Hyatt to Napa Valley
and the south of France--offers an excellent selection of
medium-priced Western cuisine, of which about 60 percent is
French. For lunch or dinner, diners can enjoy main courses
like the NT$280 Pan Roasted Chicken Leg or Daily Pasta Selection,
the NT$480 Surf & Turf, Tiger Prawns, US T-Bone Steak,
or Baked Lamb Rack with Provencal Herb Crust. For dinner,
add NT$200 to a la carte choices for the addition of an appertif,
amuse-bouche, soup, salad, dessert and coffee/tea, and NT$280
for all that and fresh oysters. A lighter NT$380 L'affection
Delight lunch menu and--Monday to Friday--a NT$180 business
lunch are also available. For connoisseurs, there is also
an NT$1,200 Gourmet Selection set meal, which includes exquisite
items like Caspian Sea Caviar. To get there, take Tswen Jung
Street west, across Jung Ming South Road and turn left onto
Ta Jung South Street at the canal.
